AN exchange, commenting on New
Jersey, says: For half a century
New Jersey has entrenched herself on
one of the great highways of commerce,
ar d like the robber barons of the middle
ages levied tribute ON all the commerce
of the country that sought passage
through her domain. Through a
railroad monopoly and denial of the
right of way and terminal facilities she
has been able to extort from the
business of the country sum sufficient
to relieve her own property of state
taxation. Her last attempt to throw
herself across the path of commerce
and hinder its passage to another state
is an effort to prevent the construction
of railroad bridge across Arthur Kill
a narrow strait separating Staten
Island from the Jersey shore. Con-
gress at its last session authorized the
construction of this bridge. New
Jersey has contested the authority OF
the government in the United States
Court. Justice Bradley has swept
aside the claims Of sovereignty on the
part of the state, and asserted the
complete supremacy of the general
government in matters over which il
has jurisdiction. And decided that in
the regulation of commerce, state lines
have no existence, and states cannot
interfere. This decision will meet
with general approval, aud will have to
be accepted by New Jersey though it is
a fatal blow to the main source of her
public revenue

DEATH OF MRS. ZEININGER.
sudden and Unexpected Death OF
Well Known Lady.

sudden and Unexpected Death OF q
Well Known Lady.
The sad intelligence of the sudden
and unexpected death of Mrs. Nellie
Zeininger, this morning about 8
o'clock, rapidly spread itself through
the streets, and was the cause of much
sorrow among her numerous friends,
she having been universal favorite
with all who had the pleasure of heI
acquaintance, which included nearly
everyone in the city.
The immediate cause of death, as we
learn from the family physician, was
the formation of a blood ciot in the
heart, superinduced by illness conse-
quent on childbirth. Up to yesterday
she was in the best of health and spir-
its, but was taken suddenly worse this
morning, and, as in all similar cases,
was soon beyond the reach of earthly
aid, having given up her young and
happy life for that of her child, which
lives and gives promise of surviving,
being strong and healthy.
The mother rallied after the birth
and was laughing and talking as to
what they would name the child, al.
though there were indications of a heart
trouble, when she suddenly grew
worse.
Mrs. Zeininger was born near Hills
borough, Illinois, in 1855, and was con-
sequently about p years of age. She
came to this city some years ago with
her parents and lived here few years,
during which time her mother died. She
returned to this city about three years
ago and in September, 1885, she was
married to Mr.. Zeininger.
Her brother, Mr.. Chas. Russell, and
her husband are the only relatives liv-
ing in this city. Her father is in Ar
kansas, and a 14-year old brother is in
Topeka. A letter was received from
her father just before her death, but
she was unable to hear it read.
The funeral viii take place to-mor-
row afternoon at o'clock from her late
residence, 500 Exchange street. The
remains viii be inferred at Emporia
temporarily, as it is the intention to
remove them later to GAINESVILLE, Wis
consin, to rest in the Zeininger burial
plat at that place, it being the wish of
the deceased.

also the part of Illinois they came over

II is now fashionable for Kansas
towns and cities to send compliment
airy invitations to President Cleveland
and wife to ''come and see them. " EN-.
poria, in this matter, is like the pro-
verbal cows tail-behind. This is a
matter deserving of immediate atten-
ton, Should the president decide to
come farther west than Kansas City, it
is more than probable that he will have
to pass through our city. In which
case it would be but proper that EN-
poria should do the courteous to the
chief magistrate of the nation. By all
means let us invite him to stop off and

river at Kansas City seems to have ex-
tended to Lawrence. The Tribune
says: sowing to the low stage of the
river the water supplied by the water
works is simply abominable. 1t is
hardly wet, and too nasty to sprinkle
lawns with. A tubfuN of it allowed to
stand in the sun few hours becomes
covered with dirty, frothy substance

have to supply the city with better wa
ter in order to I'LL their contract with

some New Developments in the Search
for the Right Man.
a representative of THE NEWS, in
conversation with Sheriff White this
morning, learned some facts that may
be of interest to our readers.
Mr.. White went to Wichita few
days ago in answer to telegram stat
ing that they had the right man. He
there learned that man by the name
of Grigsby had had one Gupton ar
rested for the crime. Grigsby had
come from Kansas City with Gupton,
and had taken him out to a camp
where lot of hOrse-traders, with whom
Grigsby had been employed, were stay
ing. The next evening he returned to
Wichita and said that Gupton and some
others had plotted to kill him and
that Gupton was the man that MUIR
dered Baxter. The officers accordingly
went out and secured the man. Before
White saw Gupton he said he wanted
talk with Grigsby. He found that
Grigsby knew more about the murder
than he did. He called the officer aside
and told him it was Grigsby if it was
either one, SO he arrested
Grigsby and brought him to
this city Sunday evening. The
coat and vest he wore corresponds to
the new suit known to be in Baxter's
trunk. The man that Baxter's muir
derer got dog of the day after the
murder was brought in Monday, but
could not say whether he was the one
or not, as he had not taken particular
notice of him. But from Grigsby's &C
tions he seemed to recognize
the farmer. Everything he said on the
way from Wichita here seemed to plant
more firmly in the sheriff's mind the
fact that he had the right man. OF
course the evidence, mostly is circum-
stantial, but his stories do not hang to-
gether, and the mora he says the more
he entangles himself:

To the casual everyday person it
looks as if Wichita was paying pretty
good price for her whistle, in the shape
of the Burton Car works. In the first
place 100000 to be taken in stock, and
now 500, 900 in the shape of cash and
land for location, making 5000, 600.
The charter only calls for $500, 900 cap
ital stock. and the entire plant, it is
calculated, will not cost over $500, 900.
Nevertheless, even at this cost, it is
more than probable that it is one of
the best investments ever made by even
Wichita, as it will give regular en-
ployment to from 1000 to 500 en-
Ployes, representing at least popula-
tion alone of 4, 200 or s, 900 inhabitants.

IF Kansas railroads made up their
minds sooner and fixed their rates ear
her for conventions, etc., so the people
would know what to expect and so
be able to make arrangements to take
trips, it would be money in their
purses. This is especially so of the G..

tee at st. Louis asked to be notified
not later than August l as to the num-
Der anticipating attending. AT the
above date not dozen people had pos

tending from this place. Therefore,
the committee could make no report
worthy OF credence. And this was all
owing to the fact that nothing definite
could be ascertaiIfed as to passenger
rates.

A FEW days ago a necklace made of
human fingers was received at the war
department in Washington City. This
CHASTITY adornment was captured in an
attack on the Northern Cheyennes in
1876, and each finger represented life
taken by the owner, the big medicine
man of the tribe. The fingers had been
preserved by opening the skin, re-
moving the bones, and scraping away
all the tissue and fatty substances.
